I've just looked over the code and it's not that long. I could change the style and remove a few features and have it down to 2k lines. The measure should be whether you can get your head around the whole script at once. I'm fairly sure I can do that. It's a clean example of getopt, makes full use of coreutils (and in an idiomatic way). It handles various OS and shell compatibility issues (and shows it has experience with where these arise). It does logging in a straightforward yet full-featured way. As usual almost every comment here on HN is superficially critical.
